The Hidden Brain is not manifested, and (Microprosopus) doth not depend immediately from it.
The Father and the Mother proceed from this Brain, and depend from It, and are connected with It.
(Through Them) Microprosopus dependeth from the Most Holy Ancient One, and is connected (with Him). And these things have we already revealed in the Conclave of the Assembly.
Blessed is his portion who entereth therein and departeth therefrom, and hath known the paths; so that he declineth not unto the right hand, or unto the left.
But if any man entereth not therein and departeth therefrom, better were it for that (man) that he had never been born. For thus it is written, Hos. xiv. 10, “True are Thy ways, O Tetragrammaton!”
Rabbi Schimeon spake and said: Through the whole day have I meditated on that saying where it is said, Ps. xxxiv. 2, “My Nephesch[843] shall rejoice in Tetragrammaton, the humble shall hear thereof and rejoice”; and now that whole text is confirmed (in my mind).
“My Nephesch shall rejoice in Tetragrammaton.” This is true, for my Neschamah is connected therewith, radiateth therein, adhereth thereto, and is occupied thereabout, and in this same occupation is exalted in its place.
“The humble shall hear thereof and rejoice.” All those just and blessed men who have come into communion with God, the Most Holy—blessed be He!—all hear and rejoice.
Ah! now is the Holy One confessed; and therefore “magnify Tetragrammaton with me, and let us exalt His Name together!”
Thus is it written, Gen. xxxvi. 31, “And those are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom.” And also it is written [pg 333] thus, Ps. xlviii. 4, “Since, lo! the kings assembled, they passed away together.”
